3 John 1:11

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.
World English Bible (WEB)
Beloved{G27}, follow{G3401}{(G5737)} not{G3361} that which is evil{G2556}, but{G235} that which is good{G18}. He that doeth good{G15}{(G5723)} is{G2076}{(G5748)} of{G1537} God{G2316}: but{G1161} he that doeth evil{G2554}{(G5723)} hath{G3708} not{G3756} seen{G3708}{(G5758)} God{G2316}.
Strong's King James
Beloved one, do not imitate evil, but rather what is good. The one who does good is from the Elohim, while the one who does evil has not seen the Elohim.
The F.O.G*
[11] Beloved, don't imitate what is evil but imitate what is good. Anyone who does good shows they belong to God, but those who do evil prove they have never really seen Him. Your actions reveal your true spiritual DNA!Dearest friend, do not imitate evil but imitate good. For the one who does good is from Yahweh, while the one who does evil has not seen Yahweh.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Beloved, be not thou following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, of God he is, and he who is doing evil hath not seen God;
